Wear Metal Analysis

ANALEX fdMplusDeveloped in co-operation with Shell Marine Lubes, the fdMplus implements a skill set in sensitive magnetometry into a design suitable for On-Site applications. Sensitive to very low ferrous contaminations levels (<1 micron) and reporting directly in ppm for comparison with laboratory test results. Suitable for use on 50 or 5 ml oil and pre-prepared grease samples. Test time typically <10 seconds per sample.

Ferrous Wear MeterNew - The Ferrous Wear Meter(FWM) brings PPM wear metal analysis capability to On-Site oil analysis in a simpler format than offered by the fDMplus. Simply, with no tedious sample preperation, it detects iron contamination and reports directly in industry standard PPM values. Provided with reference check samples, it is suitable for both industrial applications and also for use on marine two stroke scavenge oil samples for feed rate optimisation programmes and monitoring of cylinder conditions under fuel switching applications. Typical test time < 2 seconds per sample.

ANALEX rpdUsed to prepare cleaned, graded ferrographic samples for subsequent microscopic examination. The ANALEX fdMplus, pqF and pqL will all easily identify used or in-service oil samples with high iron levels. Further examination of the particle size and shape can indicate the form and progress of machine wear e.g. cutting, sliding, fatigue etc. The ANALEX rpd in particular compliments the new ANALEX pqL with rapid preparation of ferrographic slides from an initial dirty sample of used lubricating oil or grease.

Hydraulic Particles Test Kit A small self contained kit specifically aimed at basic On-Site care of hydraulic systems. Quickly identify hydraulic system contamination by a variety of metallic and non-metallic contaminants and gauge the suitability for continued use or need for additional filtration.
